Day 3 Journal Entry
I had a late night last night so I didn’t wake up when my alarm went off. Since I was in a big hurry I had to have toast for breakfast. I jumped in my car and headed off to Humboldt to birth place of Walter Perry Johnson. Humboldt was founded 1857. It was named after an explorer Baron Von Humboldt. To find out more about Walter Perry Johnson, I went to the Humboldt Historical Museum. I found out that he played on the Kansas City Monarchs in the Negro League.

I learned a lot about Walter Perry Johnson, but I have to go to Elk City State Park. I past it the first time I tried to get there. When I got there it was full of animals. The animals have over 12,000 acres to run around in. When I was walking the trails I saw a bald Eagle, Deer, Hawks, and a lot of Bison.

For the last part of the day I went to the lowest point near Chetopa. It is along the Verdigris River. I get to go fishing. Yippee!! The river has Catfish, Bass, Sheep Head, trout, and Herring. When I got back to the hotel I made some yummy trout. I finally fell asleep around 9:00 p.m. on the couch.
